Lorrie is now ten, and she gets into as much trouble as Lex ever did. Melanie is in first grade and is much less likely to get into things, at least without her sister's help. Amanda is busy trying to juggle work and taking care of the house, while Lex struggles to keep the stock they own alive.

Lorimal's Chalace - Jane Fletcher available in ebook format
There are four parts in all to the story - The Exile, The Sorcerer, The Traitor, and The Chalice. With this first installment I have included a map as a GIF file. I expect readers to need to refer to occasionally throughout the whole novel. Synopsis: The quest for the stolen chalice is just a sham - an excuse to get rid of Tevi, and save her clan further embarrassment. She finds the outside world a dangerous and confusing place, especially once her arrival triggers a chain of events she has no control over. Monsters, sorcerers, murder and a long hidden secret all await her. If this isn't enough, Tevi will have to overcome her own inner demons and figure out exactly what she wants from life.

Lunacy is a Pretty Funky Word - Verity [unfinished]
This is what the author says about the story - I have no idea what this story is about. I'm insane and was suffering from creative constipation and after a shot of inspirational ex-lax this is what came out. It's is no where near as dark as my last fic and probably shouldn't even be posted but I'm a masochist and a feedback whore so sue me. Plus the little people kept whispering in my ear for me to post it and this was the only way to shut them up. They're some persistent little buggers I tell ya. Why are you still reading this? Go read the story already. You know you're curious. Just don't shoot me when you're finished. I'd appreciate a bottle of Evian with a splash of lime though. The bullets itch.
